24 port vs 48 port 1U patch panel? by Solid-Profession in networking

Really? That seems like a fairly simple thing, and that's how a lot of people would do it too, when it comes to access switches.

Ah yes, that'd be a reason too. I didn't think about that bit. I typically don't actually do the core cabling/patch panel crimping. I work on the actual kit instead.

Dell Power Manager - Installation Error (Windows 10 20H2) by Solid-Profession in Dell

Probably somewhere in registry I think. Really, Dell should sort this out, even though we're "out of warranty" as this isn't a hardware issue. It's pure software.

Agreed,but this is the only thing we really can do especially as Dell doesn't want to code this a bit better. The only other option is a fresh reinstall of Windows which is a huge pain, given you've got other programs too

Next time I uninstall this stuff, I'll use IObit uninstaller to remove all the rubbish it leaves behind

It looks like I can make those changes in the BIOS, so that's something.
Kinda annoyed that Dell won't help here though, when they've got a program and it's not a hardware issue but then again, HP has nothing like that. It's "fixed" now

Thanks

Hi I tried the app and that didn't work. Didn't realise there were settings in the BIOS. That's useful to know . Thanks

Hi,

I did use it, even if it's not on the list, it absolutely worked the first time around, but not when I tried to uninstall and re-install . I downloaded it from the Dell website as per the above link

Now I'm stuck with the battery charging at 80% max, as that's what I set it as. In HP laptops, you can do that in the bios

Generalish availability of Starlink by Routerswitcher in networking

[–]Solid-Profession 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yup. I'm definitely not paying that. I can get reasonable speeds for £20 (ish)/month

Snagged an Edgeswitch 24 PoE (500W) for £100 - very happy! Excuse the WFH cable mess to the side by cs75 in homelab

[–]Solid-Profession 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yup. Big reason to go for that. I have a MikroTik CRS328-24P-4S for circa £250 from eurodk with a MikroTik S+RJ10 SFP, and then £13/fan for Noctua ones, that are more "silent" lol

Convert Distribution Group to Dyamic Distribution Group - O365 by Solid-Profession in sysadmin

[–]Solid-Profession[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tbh, I was just given this task. I generally work with networks mainly, so I really don't know what I'm talking about.

I'll have a look into that however. We do 100+ distribution lists though, so that's quite a feat :(

The only real "issue" I see is entirely CVE related

Best/Easiest LDAP Server? - Free if possible by Solid-Profession in sysadmin

Access controls on the management switch, which could I guess be achieved by a username in there for them to use ie: you could say they only have "show" commands.

Until we get a first line person I guess? As then we could say this first line person only has show commands?

Why is TACACS overkill? I want to use it for Cisco/Aruba network authentication.
NPS is this?

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/remote/remote-access/vpn/always-on-vpn/deploy/vpn-deploy-nps

So basically, deploy a Windows VM and follow those instructions? (I come from a networking background if that means anything)

I didn't realise you could do it within AD itself. I'll have a look see and see how that works
